As this my story will probably run counter to more than one fashion of the day, literary and other, it is prudent to bow to those fashions wherever I honestly can; and therefore to begin with a scrap of description.  As

| Quotations |
We are a stern people, and winter suits us. Nature then retires modestly into the background, and spares us the obtrusive glitter of summer, leaving us to think and work; and therefore it happens that in England it may be taken as a general rule, that whenever all the rest of the world is in-doors, we are out and busy, and on the whole, the worse the day, the better the deed. After all, the world is like a spaniel; the more you beat it, the better it likes you—if you have money. It has been England’s privilege hitherto to solve all political questions as they arise for the rest of the world; it is her duty now. Here, or nowhere, must the solution be attempted of those social problems which are convulsing more and more all Christendom. Are they not the broad, unmistakable seal to God’s opinion of a state of society which confesses its economic relations to be so utterly rotten and confused, that it actually cannot afford to save yearly millions of pounds’ worth of the materials of food, not to mention thousands of human lives? | |

A peaceful warmth diffused itself over his limbs; the droning of the organ sounded fainter and more faint; the marble monuments grew dim and distant; and, half unconsciously, he followed like a child through the cathedral door. (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)For

All the co-incidence of a Dickens novel with none of the playfulness, there are some gems to be found in the pages. There is a sort of superior humor at the level to which people deceive themselves into comfort, love, or other forms of self-satisfaction, which is about all that kept me going until the next theological outpouring, of which there are many. With a fragmentary classical education, and only hints of the religious landscape of mid-19th century England, I felt a significant lack of background to understand what points were being made in those screeds.
